title: Amino acid based dynamic metal-biomolecule frameworks.
abstract: On the move: Two isostructural, homochiral Cu(II) coordination frameworks based on amino acids (D- and L-PGA) were synthesized. Dynamic behavior by solid-state structural transformation in single-crystal-to-single-crystal fashion was demonstrated. The extent of structural dynamism was shown by guest inclusion studies. Reversible sol-gel formation and anion-tuning morphology of the compounds is also discussed.
